In the northern areas of Europe across the Schengen region is Norway -- a place many consider to be out of reach and only a vacation ambition. For the wise traveler, backpacking makes Norway affordably enjoyable by eating in specialty-dish Deli Trucks, camping in city camp grounds and using a special pass to access Norway’s tourist traps on the cheap
Norway’s food trucks specialize in multicultural street food. According to Stuff, food on the go from these food trucks -- serving burgers, Mexican-style street food such as tacos or burritos -- only cost around $16. The news website suggests eating in “Deli de Luca,” Norway’s version of 711 that appears sophisticated and will only cost you $8 for pastas or a baguette.
To eat cheaper but better food, make the right decision when it comes to choosing a prime restaurant. A great restaurant has a small menu of specialties; a restaurant that has many translations for food is a crowd-pleaser that one can assume has lackluster but expensive food. Better yet, ask locals the best places to eat great but on the cheap.
Norway’s cities also have city camping grounds aside from hostels and conventional lodging. City camping through Bogstad Camping makes for cheaper lodging inside caravans and tent-pitching sites. Stuff said camping grounds could have their seasonal schedules such as Ekerberg Camping only open during summer.
Travelers on a shoestring budget could better enjoy Norway’s tourist traps by saving up for an “Oslo Pass.” The pass costs $40 during the off-peak season and could be half-price higher otherwise. The pass grants access to 36 Norwegian historic museums and attractions, and it could even grant free public transportation with some limitations making it perfect for day-tourists. According to Virtual Tourist, here are Norway’s most common tourist traps -- if you wish to see them.
